Your Residue expression is unevaluated (Residue appears in output) since you left out part of the Residue syntax. However, your argument was evaluated to ComplexInfinity so z must already have had a value. Clear[z]; FullSimplify[ Residue[(I*z)/(1-(2+4*a)*z^2+z^4), {z,Sqrt[a+1]-Sqrt[a]}],a>0] (I*(Sqrt[1 + 1/a] - 1))/(8*(-a + Sqrt[a^2 + a] - 1)) Bob Hanlon > > From: "kiki" <lunaliu3 at yahoo.com> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Date: 2005/09/25 Sun AM 02:36:33 EDT > Subject: [mg60725] [mg60719] Is this possible?
